<aside> ℹ️ A high-level view of the data we collected through the Leadership 121 interviews.

<aside> 🪙 2 cents from your host:

The Leadership interview insights mirror the team insights (grouped by tenure) from the focus groups that showed 'the more tenure people have, the more critical they tend to be about our current values.'

Leaders tend to be the most critical group of all but are overall aligned with the broader team.

What we DO do well

• Where are we most consistent in the way we show up as a Leadership team?
• What do you value about the way we work as a Leadership team?

<aside> 💭 What works well didn't need a lot of words, it's already an evidence.

There was just as much content as the next 'DO NOT' section, but none of it was complex — alignment shone through it all. Plus, it's always easier to criticise I guess 😉

🥇 Leaders should lead

<aside> 💭 Leaders need to lead, not do the doing.

If you read only one, make it this one. Why? It encompasses all the others in one way or another. The behaviours we aspire to are all recapped under it.

The Leadership team must move away from doing and focus on leading. Make room to zoom out and step away from contributing to the day-to-day and into strategic organising and delegating to enable the company vision & mission.

</aside>

We need headspace to think bigger.

The solution is to empower champions to drive the day-to-day forward so we focus on leading. We can't have it all and have to prioritise. Strategy is about knowing what risk you're willing to take and why.
